DFS-R in regards to "the dfs replication wmi connection or synchronization object was not found"

Question

I setup a four server full mesh DFS replication. I have four domain controllers as well.

Rep setup:

Local Server - 1G connection

Member - T1

Member - T1

Member - four T1 connections multilinked

The dfs replication is happening on four member servers that are not the domain controllers. When I add a member server to the replication group and then instantly try a replication from a remote server to my local server that I just added, I get "the
dfs replication wmi connection or synchronization object was not found." Though I can right click on the local server and replicate it instantly to the member server.Though if I wait about 5 minutes, I can then do manual replication without a hitch.
Is this normal?
